However, I'm still interested in mods for it to >get a bit more gain at lower volumes without sacrificing the clean tone. More gain? Mine breaks up at 3 on both channel with vintage Strat pickups. How much gain do you want? > >I got the Bassman because the extra tube and larger output transformer make it >a promising mod platform for me to experiment and learn on. I see two simple >mods and a more complex one as good candidates: > >1. Put a pot (1M or larger) in series with the 470K resistor in the feedback >loop across the extra gain stage (preceding the splitter) to allow variable >reduction in negative feedback and pick up some more gain into the splitter. >Question here: will that overdrive the splitter, the output, or both? And is >that a good idea? WARNING!!!!!!!! THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA!!!!!!!!! It is a very unsafe practice connecting plate voltages to panel mounted controls, especially 99 cent pots. I know of _no_ amp designs that implement any of these ideas. Additionally: Increasing the value of that resistor will have no audible effect. The resistor is there to stablize the gain stage, not to set the gain. In fact, the gain of that stage looks something like this: Gain = mu/( 2 + x/Rf) where mu is the gain of the tube , and "x" is much smaller than Rf (the feedback resistor). (I did this analysis a few months ago and have it documented, although it is not handy, I'll post it tommorrow…..) So you see, the feedback resistor has vitually no effect on gain untill it is reduced to a value less than "x", which is much smaller than Rf ( again, I'll post a value tommorrow). The previous Bassman AA864 circuit uses a 220K/220K voltage >divider into this stage rather than negative feedback. That would indicate a >%50 reduction in signal into that stage, right? Yes, and the .001 cap creates a low-pass filter. (decreases treble) >Can I assume then that the 470K R in the AB165 is performing roughly >the same reduction? Absolutely not. One is a negative feedback circuit. The other is a voltage divider/lowpass filter. > >2. Put a double pot of at least 250K in series with the 220K feedback resistors >from the output plates to before the coupling caps to reduce negative feedback. Yikes! Please don't connect the plates of your power tubes to any panel mounted pots. Don't take this personally, but this is a perfect example of the saying "A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing" >Or, should I remove these and configure the feedback loop like the standard 820 >used in most Fenders? It is safe to remove the resistors . These resistors limit the gain of the power stage. Removing them will give you roughly 3dB more gain (depending on what tubes you have). Converting to the "standard feedback circuit" as seen in most Fenders will give you an 18dB boost at 60 Hz. It's like turning your bass control up 10 more numbers. It also _decreases_ gain by 3dB from roughly 1kHz up. I know this for a fact because I performed this mod on _my_ AB165 and documented it with a pink noise generator and spectrum analyzer. > >3. Add a cathode resistor and bypass cap and insert the unused half of the >extra tube either before or after the tone stack. With your current level of understanding, adding a gain stage is way beyond you (not a flame). Can extra stages be added >without the pronounced high-pass effect they seem to have in Boogies? Yes. My main >complaint with Boogies and other cascaded-stage overdrive amps I've heard is >that as soon as the extra stage is switched in the lows are just gone. Is that >intentional to avoid flubbiness at high gains? Yes. I'm looking for subtle gain >enhancement and fatness rather than massive distortion so I want to preserve >the frequency response on the clean tone whan I add more gain. Now you're talkin'. Remove those 2 pesky 220k feedback resistors off the power tube plates. You'll get about 3dB more gain and the bass will "tighten up". Jack Zucker and I both did this mod and we both got similar results and liked it. This may be all you need. If this is not enough, e-mail me and we'll take the next step. > >As is likely obvious from the above naive speculations I'm still on the steep >part of the tube amp learning curve. I'd thus appreciate any advice about how >to optimize the Bassman (or my Showman head) for fat clean tones and subtle >overdrive. That's o.k. We all have to start at the bottom. Tube amps are both very delicate and very dangerous things. Remember, you are playing with fire. On a side issue, several weeks ago you wanted to "warm up" your HiWatt. I gave you a tone stack cap change that will give a you a warmer low end. Did you do it?

About Hope's Ranch and Our Cattle
Our Goal is to raise lean, heart healthy, diet friendly, antibiotic free, hormone free, flavorful beef for our family and our customers.
Ranching is our passion. Hope's Ranch is a eco-friendly family ranch. It was our dream to live and work in the spectacular mountains of Northern California. Our dedication to providing our family, friends, and dogs, healthy food that inspired us to raise healthy livestock.
Our cows live stress free grazing rotationally on several thousand acres of sweet natural organic wild grass. They drink from artisan spring water. Our Angus and Corriente cattle cow /calf herd have carefully selected by experienced cattle breeders. We specialize producing lean healthy beef calves. They have been on our ranches all of their lives.
We are third generation farmers and have spent years studying the art of finishing cows on grass to ensure that our beef is sweet, savory, and heart healthy.
Healthy Cows, Healthy Beef The health and genetics of our animals is where it all begins. . The herd has hundreds upon thousands of organic rangeland to roam.
We believe that the proper grasses meant for a cow's digestive system, fresh air, clean water, and plenty of room to roam, is key to ensure healthy disease-free cattle and nutritious healthy beef. Free Range, Only Pasture Raised The cattle are born and raised on the same home pastures that they spend the rest of their lives. They live in beautiful country and freely graze all day and night. We do not buy from auction houses or commercial operations. We also encourage our customers to learn about the health hazards to humans and animals in commercial feedlots. There is much contamination and disease caused by grain-fed and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). The confinement and inappropriate diet results in sick animals, and beef lacking the nutrition and flavor found in grass fed, free range beef.
Sustainable Farming Practices Last but not least, we follow sustainable herd and natural resource management practices supported by the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Services. As a result, we use little fossil fuel, conserve water, soil, and eliminate the need for chemicals. An added bonus! Good for the land, and good for the cattle.
We guarantee that our cattle are Grass Fed and Grass Finished! What cattle eat throughout their life determines the quality and nutrition levels of the beef. Most Beef labeled as natural or grass fed is often finished on grain, corn, wheat, and oat hay, and raised in feed lots.
WHY OUR BEEF? We raise 100% grass fed, 100% grass finished beef.
Individual Cuts, Half, and Whole Beef

So far so good.
I love the way these boots feel, they didn't seem too small, I got a 7.5 which is what I normally wear, and they feel great. No tingly toes. And I haven't had any issues with the laces. As far as breaking them in, you can stick the liners in your oven (at a low temp) and then put them on and they will fit better. Good beginner-intermediate boot.

Clayton News Daily
This is the text of the petition for fee arbitration involving attorneys Terry D. Jackson and Lee Sexton and the Clayton County School Board and District. The petition was filed March 24 and is in a question and answer format.
What is the total amount of attorney's fee? The total amount billed to date is $70,849.50 for attorney's fees and costs, a copy of that bill dated Han. 27, 2003 is attached. Since the mailing of this bill counsel has received two additional bills from court reporters for the board meetings of Jan. 13, 17 and Feb. 3, 2003 of $650 and $423, courier fee of $6 and copying costs at the Fayette Courthouse of $65.50 (copies of receipts attached.) Also, counsel has not billed the respondent for a supplemental bill for the contract legal services hired to obtain certified divorce documents for former Superintendent Dan Colwell and District Court Documents relating to the noticed hearing of $987, of which $400 was billed as an estimate with the original bill. Counsel has incurred additional time since Jan. 27, 2003 in finalizing the settlement documents, and related matters that was not billed totaling 20.5 hours @$275 for Terry D. Jackson and 15 hours @ $375 for Lee Sexton, for a total bill for attorney's time of $11, 262.50 after Jan. 27, 2003. A supplemental bill is attached. In addition to the above amounts, counsel is seeking attorney's fees and costs for the respondent's stubbornly litigious conduct shown in this matter as provided by OCGA 13-6-11, and that interest at 7 percent per annum be imposed on the respondent for the breach of the fee agreement as provided by law since Jan. 27, 2003. The respondent should also be required to pay all costs of arbitration, including all arbitrators' fees and expenses. It took seven hours of time to review the file put together (and) put together this petition. How much of this amount is in dispute? The respondent has paid nothing and in a meeting with counsel Feb. 2, 2003 in his office, Board Member Latoya walker stated that counsel should cap their fees at $20,000. Counsel refused. Board members Linda Crummy, Nedra Ware and Connie Kitchens were also present at this meeting. The respondents has never offered to pay a cent of the fee, and has failed to make any offers through counsel. In discussions with the Board's counsel, Gary Sams, Mr. Sams inquired whether counsel would be willing to submit the dispute in question to binding arbitration. Counsel agreed, and offered both private arbitration and the State Bar's Fee Arbitration programs as alternatives. Counsel also offered a one time offer to further reduce the bill that was rejected. Mr. Sams told counsel that the Board did agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration by vote in executive session, but it refused to use a private arbitrator and wanted to use the State Bar Fee Arbitration program. After waiting more than three weeks for that petition to be submitted, counsel submits this petition. How much has been paid to the attorney? None In what city and state were the legal services performed or supposed to have been performed? The client is located in Jonesboro, and the majority of legal work was performed in Atlanta, Jonesboro and Stockbridge. When were the legal services performed? Jan. 2, 2003 through Feb. 8, 2003 On EXACTLY what date did the fee dispute first arise? February 2, 2003 For what type of case of legal services was the attorneys employed? Counsel was retained to represent the school board in removing former Supt. Dan Colwell. List the main reasons you feel the fee is not correct (or is correct). On Jan. 2, 2003 Board Chairman Nedra Ware contacted plaintiff's counsel and plaintiff's counsel's office regarding whether counsel would be willing to assist the board in removing then Supt. Dan Colwell due to matters reflecting conflict of interest and moral turpitude while he was superintendent, and that the former board majority illegally made an anticipatory appointment to extend his contact by more than 1 year through January of 2005, despite the fact that Colwell's current contract would not expire until September of 2003. Ware also stated that former Chairman (Mark) Armstrong had lived and resided in another part of the county for more than two years, and that conduct might impact affect the contract of Colwell as Armstrong could not vote or sign any contract while he was an illegal constitutional officer. Counsel Terry Jackson also related to Ms. Ware that he had one current and one dormant lawsuit pending against the school district in unrelated 42 U.S.C. 1983 matters, including one of those cases that Ware and other board members have been deposed by Jackson on prior occasion. Jackson and Sexton made it clear to the board that these matters would not be discussed with the board, and that the board would have to to waive any potential conflict by unanimous vote, and it did in executive session which was transcribed by the board secretary. The board also voted to retain Jackson, Sexton and Bobby Lee Cook on two different open session voted on Jan. 13, 2003 and Jan. 17, 2003 as reflected by the Court Reporter's Transcription of both of these meetings. Certain board members have stated that counsel agreed to bill only $125 per hour for our services, the same as allegedly billed by other counsel employed by them, but counsel never agreed to limit our fees in total amount or by the hourly rate. After investigating these matters, and conducting legal work that is reflected in detail in the bills attached to this petition, former Superintendent Dan Colwell agreed to resign on Jan. 22, 2003 and the counsel was able to cut off more than $232,000 in additional compensation that Colwell was contending was owed and due Colwell under the October 2002 extension approved by five of the eight board members present that night. The school district was also able to avoid a protracted legal battle where Colwell had retained two law firms n Brown & Associated and Burr & Forman n to represent him in these matters. In return, Colwell was paid the term of his original contract set to expire in September 2003, and he was paid through December 2003 so as to not affect his retirement under the Georgia Teacher's Pension Plan. Colwell was paid no attorney's fees and his involvement with the school district ceased immediately as required under the terms of the agreement. At the time the matter was resolved at a board meeting lasting until 2 a.m. counsel Sexton and Jackson told the board that they were about to receive a bill of approximately $75,000, that if the Fair Dismissal Act hearing was held in 10 days it would likely cost another $70,000 minimum and that a protracted legal battle would dwarf any amounts owed and due Colwell. Despite our confidence that he could be fired with cause voiding any further obligation to him. A Pyrrhic victory is not a victory, and the Board agreed to settle the matter. However, after Colwell agreed to our terms of settlement board member Latoya Walker telephoned another lawyer on her cellphone, and she then convinced several other board members to renege on its offer to settle with Colwell. After two more hours of negotiation, the Board again made the exact offer it made to Colwell previously and the matter was settled on the exact terms Colwell accepted previously. Unanimously. Colwell created a media fire storm by attempting to make the terms of his removal a race issue and soliciting widespread media coverage of this issue. But, when he and his counsel were confronted with the evidence in question, and told that the allegations and evidence we were mustering would be presented against him in a public forum before the board the matter was resolved after less than 10 days without further delay. The legal bills in fighting Colwell and his counsel would have dwarfed Colwells' entire contract, including the Oct. 2, 2002 extension of more than $250,000. After submitting the bill to the board, hand delivering a copy to board chairman Ware on Jan. 27, 2003, counsel heard no complaint from the board about the bill until Sunday afternoon, Feb. 2, 2003. In a meeting requested board chairman Ware in counsel's office, LaToya Walker stated that if counsel cared about the kids of Clayton County we would agree to cap our fees at $20,000 despite close to 300 hours of legal work being performed to date in that matter. The chief complaint of Walker and the other board member involved were that they were catching "heat" from their constituents for the amount of the bill once it began (became) public, not about the quality or end result of the objective they hired counsel for in this matter. The Board has yet to identify or quantify a single complaint with the quality of legal services provided, that the goal of removing Colwell was not achieved, or the bill submitted. The Board simply does not want to pay it because it is "too high," they are catching "heat," and they now dispute our hourly rates and falsely argue that we agreed to cap our fees. By simple math, counsel saved the school district over $232,00 on Colwell's contract for the period Jan. 1, 2004 through Jan. 1, 2005. Counsel saved the school district at least $75,000 additional dollars in fees for the legal work that would have been required to proceed with a Fair Dismissal Act Hearing, and it avoided protracted litigation in the state and appellate courts with Colwell over this matter with legal bills that would have easily eclipsed Colwell's contract in total. Counsel did not seek out the board as a client, it sought counsel to represent it. Now that the work is done, the desired result accomplished inside 10 days from the firing of Colwell, the Board is simply unwilling to pay the bill for those services. This board continues under public scrutiny for its misconduct in this matter and other dealings, and the Clayton County grand jury is currently taking testimony on the behind the scenes machinations of these board members in these and other matters. Counsel for the Board set aside depositions previously scheduled and other legal matters to devote their full attention to the Board's business at its request in this matter including attending two board meetings that last past midnight and fielding telephone calls from the board members at all hours of the day and night. Counsel believes that this case is the classic tale of being called upon by a public entity to assist it in defusing a media mess created by its own rash decisions, and for that effort counsel is now being punished because the board is catching "heat" for its decision. No good deed with the Board goes unpunished. On a separate piece of paper state in DETAIL (1) the nature of the dispute, (2) the particulars of your position, and (3) all relevant dates. State the amount of attorney fee that you feel is correct. This is your opportunity to explain your side of the fee dispute. Please take advantage of it by being complete, yet concise, in answering this question. See number 8 above Have you made a good faith effort to resolve this dispute? Yes. Counsel has received no offers in this case, but agreed to arbitrate this matter before the State Bar or a private arbitrator. Counsel also made a one time offer to reduce the bill to the Board's counsel in lieu of arbitration to decide the matter, using the state bar'srules, to expedite the resolution of this matter. Counsel believes that the reason for this continued delay is just that, delay. After waiting weeks for the Board to submit the prition to the Bar, we have submitted our petition instead and ask that this binding arbitration matter be expedited. Is this dispute over attorney's fees presently the subject of litigation in any court? No. Counsel agreed to forego filing a lawsuit in Clayton County Superior Court against the board if it agreed to binding arbitration and this petition follows that agreement. Do you agree to be bound by the results of this arbitration? Yes. Both parties have agreed to be bound by the arbitrators' decision.More like this story

ATLANTA — Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal recommitted to supporting criminal justice changes and alternatives to public schools Monday as he was sworn in for a second term in office, and said his mission for the next four years is "building upon the foundation we have laid."
Deal's swearing-in was held inside the House chamber after a rainy weather forecast canceled plans for an outdoor ceremony.
A Hephzibah man was arrested Sunday after he was caught masturbating near the toy aisle of a Wal-Mart for the second time in less than a year, authorities said.
About 6 p.m. Sunday, an employee at the store at 3209 Deans Bridge Road told police she saw the man, later identified as Tareem Burgess, 32, of Pamplona Drive in Hephzibah, acting suspiciously.
She said Burgess walked around with his hands in his pockets and stopped to stare at women in the store. From security cameras, the employee saw Burgess masturbate on the toy aisle before leaving the store.
ATLANTA — A Georgia lawmaker believes people legally able to drink, vote and serve in the military should be allowed to run for a seat in the state Senate.
State Sen. Josh McKoon says he plans to introduce legislation this year lowering the minimum age for candidates from 25 to 21. McKoon says he was inspired by an 18-year-old elected to West Virginia's legislature in November.
ATLANTA -- Unlike its counterparts in other states, the Georgia Hospital Association has not been seen as actively advocating for Medicaid expansion.
A number of states have expanded their Medicaid programs, making more low-income people eligible for benefits and thus helping hospitals financially by reducing their numbers of uninsured patients.
But expansion has gone nowhere in Georgia. Gov. Nathan Deal and his fellow Republicans who dominate the General Assembly have made a point of blocking such a move, saying it would cost the state too much money.
HIRAM, Ga. — The funeral for a sheriff's officer killed in a murder-suicide is planned at a church northwest of Atlanta.
Services for Cpl. Sam Driskell were to be held at 11 a.m. today at West Ridge Church in Dallas, Georgia.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been speaking with relatives, friends and neighbors to determine what may have prompted the shooting at the officer's home in the Hiram area.
ATLANTA — Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal is set to begin his second term in office today with an inaugural ceremony in Atlanta.
An afternoon ceremony is planned inside the State Capitol.
The governor and first lady Sandra Deal were to start the day at a 9 a.m. prayer service at Mount Paran Church in Atlanta.
An inaugural gala is scheduled for Thursday night with entertainment by country music artist Alan Jackson and other Georgia musicians.
A highly-touted concept to build small, portable nuclear power reactors that could be moved on a railroad car or truck has made little progress in recent years, especially at Savannah River Site.
Often cited as the future of nuclear energy, the development of small modular reactors has faced funding challenges and competing energy sources – mainly falling natural gas prices that jilted the nuclear industry's comeback – leaving some questioning if the mini-reactors will ever be viable.
A group of Greenbrier High School parents hope to put the brakes on Columbia County's plan to rezone up to 200 students to Lakeside High School next fall.
About 75 parents and students met Sunday with school trustees Mike Sleeper and David Dekle at a home on Mullikin Road to plead their case.
Under a plan proposed by school officials, about 200 students would be shifted to Lakeside next school year. The actual number will likely be lower, as 53 rising seniors have been offered an exemption, providing they can provide their own transportation.
It's hard to believe but if he had lived, Elvis Presley would have turned 80 last week.
It's also hard for some of us to believe that the King of Rock 'n' Roll came to Augusta not once but twice in a three-month span of 1956 to play at the Bell Auditorium.
At the time, Presley was on the verge of what we now call super-stardom. Before the year was out, he would offer his legendary performance on TV's Ed Sullivan Show, and go on to fame and glory in music and movies before his death in 1977.
Skipping Augusta Commission approval on spending and contracting for the city's Laney-Walker and Bethlehem redevelopment initiative, the Hyde Park relocation effort and other Housing and Community Development responsibilities has worked "well" and should continue, interim Director Hawthorne Welcher said in a proposal going before a commission committee Monday.
Friends and family members remembered Augusta businessman Alonzo P. "Bruz" Boardman Jr. on Sunday as a sharp businessman who could see opportunities where others did not.
Boardman, 82, the former president of Boardman Oil Co., died Saturday at his Augusta home.
Years before Steve Strickland became a major – or even a sergeant – in the Richmond County Sheriff's Office, his dream was to go back to school.
In the mid-1990s, Strickland read about the FBI National Academy, and for two decades it remained on his professional bucket list.
On Dec. 19, after 11 weeks of training in Quantico, Va., Strickland's dream became a reality.
Strickland was one of 215 members of the final Class of 2014, which consisted of law enforcement officials from 49 states and 20 different countries.
A 29-year-old man is accused of stabbing someone during a failed armed robbery attempt late Saturday, deputies say.
Randy Allen Conrad II is being held on charges of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and criminal attempt armed robbery, according to a statement from the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.

When I started out in the fashion business in the 1960's I thought I would make my mark quickly. I figured with all the ideas I had people would come running with accolades but of course they didn't. As an assistant designer you basically make a lot of patterns, cut samples and stay quiet. People are not interested in your ideas nor do they care, so you quickly figure out that you are there to learn.
I have told the story once before how they laughed when I created a one piece snowsuit that had a mid zipper so it could also be worn as a jacket. Then they laughed again when they saw the five different infant fleece sets I created. That is when I decided I had to go out on my own to make my mark. Six months later I saw those same designs featured in the Canadian Simpson Sears catalog and they ended up trade marking the snowsuit. The snowsuit made them a fortune and the idea evolved into new styling of active wear done by other companies. Those are the breaks as they say.
When I opened my store I designed 90% of the clothing and the other 10% I purchased. I watched popular jean companies I bought from buy sample clothing from Europe and copy it. It seemed and still seems to be the norm in the apparel business. The designer would design a few creations but basically he or she would produce copies of the purchased samples for their lines. Knock it off and private label it as they say, because clothing companies do not use intellectual property protections. Just like the writing business, people want your creative ideas and words but generally do not want to pay for them.
I designed everything from dresses to active wear, right down to my own jewelry line. I had a deal with a jewelry company - they would produce pieces for my store in small amounts as long as they could sell them in their lines. I figured that was terrific not realizing the money they were making off of my designs.
Etsy is one of the best places online to find one of kind handmade things. Many talented designers go on there to sell their unique wares and are now running into problems. Companies such as Urban Outfitters are looking at their designs and doing the Hoboken Hustle with them.
The knock off world is now flooded with imported fake Chanel bags and Tiffany jewelry but for a US Company to do this is a travesty to me. Urban Outfitters is being accused of knocking off everything from jewelry to sock monkeys being found on Etsy. Would it not be a better idea to maybe pay the designers royalties for their product or have them design a line for them?
Just last week they were allegedly caught pilfering another design from Etsy but the designer that complained actually created her piece someone else's design. Urban Outfitters issued a statement saying there were many similar products on the site and not to point the finger at them. It does not matter to me if there were others since they still have a track record of helping themselves and that crime should never be copied anywhere.
While I researched this article and browsed on Etsy I found this "Pimple Popping Ring" designed by Etsy's artbywinona. It's made from sterling silver, copper, enamel, and freshwater pearl and retails for $163. So I sit here and realize if anyone copies this ring it is going to be pretty easy to trace back. Then I wonder if she got the idea from the new iPhone app by Room Candy called the Pimple Popper.
Who is copying who?

It's a great Place. The owners are lady and gent.
He expects me on Valentines Day or Yom Kippur.

I feel like a box of chocolate kisses with fresh fishes.
No say you wish for chocolate covered cheek dimples.

The Canadian fashion industry would certainly be better for for having you. Anyone who could dress up a snow suit, is a-okay in my books. As you know, it is a rarity to find Canadian clothing. A former colleague of mine is now in clothes design but at her prices my hide won't be seeing them any time soon.
My daughter always wanted to all shop at Urban Outfitters until I took her to Giant Tiger and showed her practically the same clothes for a 1/4 of the price! Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on copyright and pimple poppers. Looks more like a rusty nipple, don't cha think?
I second Wolfman's recommendation to see "Ruthless People". Netflix has it "http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Ruthless_People/60021851?trkid=2361637#height1445"
That ring is godawful, but it still should be protected. If some idiot wants to spend $163 for that monstrosity or for the iphone app...that's why it's a free country.
R Poetess: I love looking at that garden every darn day
Lots of candy kisses to you Art

I am at the very moment designing a new style budgy (Aussie mis-spellin) smuggler that has a zipper under the crotch.

Our inventive readers have come up with not one, but two unique portable chicken coops.
After reading many of your chicken and egg articles, my 13-year-old daughter designed this mobile chicken tractor and my husband built it.
Our 11-year-old daughter is a vegetarian, and she has motivated us to begin our chicken venture with the goals of healthier eating and living. Our daughters are responsible for taking care of the black Australorp hens.
The main house is constructed mostly from recycled materials, including a large wooden shipping crate and a piece of metal roofing we found on the side of the road. There are doors for gathering eggs and a door to the "run." One whole side opens for cleaning. I think it is a very ingenious design!
The tractor and run are moved around our yard with the hope that the hens will eat the grubs, ticks, beetles, etc.
Mara Ziegler Boalsburg, Pennsylvania
I invested 20 hours and $60 in materials to build a chicken "tractor," which comfortably houses four hens.
The A-frame chicken coop is 4 feet wide, 6 feet long and 4 1⁄2 feet tall. The base is made from 2-by-6s, with 2-by-4s for the sides. The door skins, siding, and nesting boxes are three-eighths-inch plywood. Four 4-inch strap hinges hang the doors, and chicken wire finishes the project. For strength, I used wood screws rather than nails to build the coop.
David Hymel Eatonville, Washington
Thank you for great articles.People actually don't know how great chickens and chicken coops are! And lots of people don't know how to raise chicken and build chicken coop. People need detailed plans and instructions to build functional and good looking chicken coop. Then they also need to know how to raise chicken in proper conditions. These two create perfect balance while deciding to build chicken coop.I can recommend this website to have lots of plans and learn everything about raising chicken.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by French news agency AFP
Paris, 23 June 2011: France will begin "a gradual withdrawal" of its
reinforcements in Afghanistan "proportionately and in line with a
timetable comparable to that of the withdrawal of the American
reinforcements," it was announced by the Elysee Palace [president's
office] in a statement on Thursday morning [23 June].
The statement by the French presidency follows American President Barack
Obama's announcement on Wednesday evening of the withdrawal of one third
of the American forces stationed in Afghanistan - in other words, 33,000
men - by the summer of 2012.
The American president also ordered the repatriation from as early as
this year of 10,000 of the 99,000 or so American soldiers currently on
the ground.
Ahead of his speech, Barack Obama had a telephone conversation on
Wednesday with his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy "to discuss with
him our shared commitment in Afghanistan", the Elysee Palace specified.
Nicolas Sarkozy "emphasized that France shares the American analysis and
objectives and welcomes the decision taken by President Obama", added
the same source.
Following his meeting with the American president, the French head of
state "confirmed that France will remain fully engaged, along with its
allies, at the side of the Afghan people to follow through to its
conclusion the process of transition", the Elysee continued.
"In view of the progress made, it will begin a gradual withdrawal of
reinforcements sent to Afghanistan, proportionately and in line with a
timetable comparable to that of the withdrawal of the American
reinforcements. This withdrawal will be carried out in liaison with our
allies and with the Afghan authorities," the French presidency noted.
Four thousand French soldiers are currently deployed in Afghanistan.
Sixty-two soldiers have died in the country since the end of 2001.
With nine French soldiers having died in Afghanistan in less than six
months, 2011 is already one of the most deadly years for French troops
deployed in the country for nearly 10 years now.
The final withdrawal of the coalition forces in Afghanistan is scheduled
for the summer of 2014, but the question of an initial partial
withdrawal of French troops has arisen one year ahead of the
presidential election.
A few days ago the Defence Ministry noted out that "the objective of a
partial withdrawal in the second half of 2011 remains an option which is
open and is being studied".

Assad regime accused of killing its own in Syria
Syria - There is international outcry over allegations that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against its own people.
Activists say at least 130 people, including more than a dozen children, were killed Wednesday when government forces unleashed toxic gas near the capital of Damascus.
Videos, too gruesome to air, have appeared on YouTube and other social media which appear to show piles of dead and injured.
President Bashar al-Assad has denied the claims.
The U.N. is being urged to investigate, and says if the claims are true, it could prompt sanctions or even military action against Assad.

Know how to use "fewer" and "less"? Find out.
1550s, "pertaining to a polity, civil affairs, or government;" from Latin politicus "of citizens or the state" (see politic (adj.)) + -al (1). Meaning "taking sides in party politics" (usually pejorative) is from 1749. Political prisoner first recorded 1860; political science is from 1779 (first attested in Hume). Political animal translates Greek politikon zoon (Aristotle, "Politics," I.ii.9) "an animal intended to live in a city; a social animal."

Culture Warrior: Using Movies To Study Middle East History and Politics
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on June 21, 2011 | Be the First To CommentI often find that, as a devotee to cinema and little else, I understand history through cinema. After all, cinema can take me to places I've never been and times I never lived with a particular sensory gestalt that's simply not quite the same in other art forms. This is not to say that I make the mistake of substituting cinema for history, or treat cinema the same way I would treat a credible historical annal. But cinema, especially narrative fiction, has a fascinating capacity to represent subjective experiences and particular perspectives of history. By considering history through its cinematic representation, we may not become authorities of chronology, but rather understand emotions and experiences associated with lived events. Few movies claim to be comprehensive authorities of historical representation through cinema (and yes, selection, while problematic is essential for historical writing as well, but cinema simply provides yet another layer of artifice). Some films are canonized as such (anything from Saving Private Ryan to Ken Burns's documentaries), but even as these are incomplete historiographies, they are in a sense "complete" biographies of thought, reflection, interpretation, and emotion.
The past few weeks have been incredibly light when it comes to DVD Tuesdays, but that streak of limited releases appears to have come to an end. Fourteen titles are covered below, and they run the gamut from fantastic to pure drivel with a lot in between. Titles out this week include Animal Kingdom, Dark Skies, Justified, Freakonomics, Death Race 2, and more. And yes, I was as surprised as you that Takers is worth a rental.
This Week in Blu-ray: Animal Kingdom, Two from Criterion, Buried and More…
Blu-ray Spotlight By Neil Miller on January 18, 2011 | Comments (1)Another seven days of movie watching, another week of Blu-ray releases to be dissected. As we move through the back-end of awards season, it's going to be time for all of those hot Oscar hopefuls to make their play toward cashing in on all the buzz. The benefit to you is that you'll get to see or own most of them very soon, and you don't even have to leave your couch. This week brings us Animal Kingdom, the still under-the-radar crime thriller from down under. It also sees the streak of Criterion continue, with two more of their films ending up in my Buy section. I'm not pandering, I promise. They are just really good at releasing films on Blu-ray. It's almost unfair to everyone else. Except for those of us who buy their stuff, of course. All this and more is just one click away in the latest entry of This Week in Blu-ray.

My neighbor purchased quite a few Waterford bowls and vases over the past 15 years or so marked down at Waterford outlet stores. She's looking to downsize and asked me what I thought about their value. I don't know much about Waterford outlets and don't even know if they still exist, but I do know GW members will know the entire story. I thought they went bankrupt, and also thought their crystal was no longer made by hand before they went belly up. Have these recently-made items gone up in value? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I haven't seen prices, but can't help but think that any good, marked piece of waterford will increase in value....now that the factory in Ireland is closed. Not sure how the German-made pieces are marked. Linda C |

FSU baseball held its first official practice of the 2015 season on a chilly, blustery Saturday morning.
Sipping on a large (or Venti?) Starbucks coffee to combat the cold, veteran coach Mike Martin sat down with local media to help preview the season. Here are some of the noteworthy topics that Martin touched on.
New faces in 2015
Martin had to go back to the 1983 season to identify a team that has faced so many unknowns entering a year.
The Seminoles lose two of their weekend starters – Brandon Leibrandt and Luke Weaver – as well as key bullpen members Gage Smith and Jameis Winston. In the lineup, FSU returns OF DJ Stewart, 2B John Sansone, CF/IF Ben DeLuzio, C Danny De La Calle and OF Josh Delph, meaning the infield is iffy.
"There are so many question marks, so many situations that are going to arise," Martin said. "The ability to bounce back from adversity, the ability to deal with failure, it's a team that brings a lot of excitement in those areas. Last year, we had a new...
Read moreFSU coach Leonard Hamilton issued a challenge to his big men earlier this month.
Play with a mean streak.
If the Seminoles are to rebound from the loss of star guard Aaron Thomas, they needed their post players to be more physical. While that's not an inherent trait for seven-footers Kiel Turpin, Michael Ojo or Boris Bojanovsky, it is a necessity.
"The challenge for us this year, we need our five inside guys to be a little more dominant than they have been. They're all athletic, they're big, they're strong," Hamilton said. "We need them to play sometimes a little bit out of their personality, and sometimes that's not an easy accomplishment."
Since Hamilton's comments a few weeks ago, FSU's big men have made a conscious effort to play with a little more grit. Coaches harp on them to carve out space in the post on offense and to be OK using fouls on defense. The aforementioned centers, and to a lesser extent power forwards Jarquez Smith and Phil Cofer, are trying to step outside their...
Read moreFSU QB commit Malik Henry will spend his final year as a prep playing close to Tallahassee.
Henry, the Class of 2016 five-star prospect who committed to FSU in November, moves to Florida this week to play at the IMG Academy in Bradenton. While Bradenton is about five hours south of Tallahassee, it is significantly closer than California, which is where Henry is from.
"It's was between Long Beach Poly and IMG. I chose IMG because I think IMG is going to give me a better opportunity to prepare for the next level," Henry told 247 Sports, which first reported the story.
Henry (6-3, 180) follows in the footsteps of current FSU QB commit Deondre Francois, who transferred to IMG Academy for his senior season.
Another 2016 FSU commit, TE Isaac Nauta, is also at IMG Academy, meaning the duo will be able to develop chemistry for the next year.

Read moreFSU's new defensive ends coach Brad Lawing, a former assistant at Florida, will not have to travel far to start his new job.
Along with vast experience and a pedigree of molding and developing elite defensive ends, Lawing will also bring another important attribute with him when he makes the two-hour trek from Gainesville to Tallahassee. Lawing, who will reportedly be on campus recruiting as early as this weekend according to a report from Warchant.com, is also a proven recruiter.
During his most recent stint at South Carolina, Lawing was one of the recruiters responsible for bringing in RB Marcus Lattimore, who was a consensus top-10 player in the country. He also helped recruit and coach top-tier defensive ends like John Abraham – who has been in the NFL since 2000 – and Jadeveon Clowney, who was the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Lawing previously worked at Florida the past two seasons as the Gators' defensive line coach and associate head coach. Warchant.com first reported the hire Thursday evening.
Before that, Lawing worked at South Carolina from 2006-12, where he coached DE Jadeveon Clowney, the first overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.
FSU expects Lawing to be on campus and recruiting as early as this weekend, according to the Warchant report.

Read moreFSU assistant Sal Sunseri is reportedly taking a job with the Oakland Raiders.
The defensive ends coach who has been on FSU's staff the past two seasons is headed to the NFL, according to a report from 247 Sports.
Sunseri has previous experience in the NFL, coaching the Carolina Panthers from 2002-08.
A FSU spokesperson could not confirm the report.
Sunseri was a primary recruiter for some of FSU's top targets heading into National Signing Day on Feb. 4, most notably Seffner Armwood DE Byron Cowart and Jersey City (N.J.) St. Peters Prep CB Minkah Fitzpatrick. Cowart recently told ESPN that his final two consisted of UF and Auburn while Fitzpatrick is committed to Alabama. Uncommitted DE Shelton Johnson is also a top priority for FSU and was being recruited by Sunseri. However, FSU tends to assign two coaches to recruit players in case there is turnover on the staff.
